After roughing it for about a week at various campsites, it was a welcome relief to spend a night at Old Mac Daddy in one of their permanent tented camps. Old Mac Daddy is a combination of Airstream caravan park, luxury villas, and tented campsite with a variety of wonderful holiday activities to suit the whole family. It has three tented camps each with their own unique charm. Daddy’s Hideaway Luxury Tent is tucked away in the mountain and is perfect for those who want complete peace and quiet, away from the madding crowd. Daddy’s Den and Big Daddy’s Den offers a real camping feel with all the luxuries such as hot showers, fluffy towels, and everything else required for quality holiday bliss.
A staple at Old Mac Daddy are the Airstream trailers, and these are a major drawcard for holiday seekers. The Airstreams, mostly imported from the US, are attached to chalets and bungalows that offer artist-themed bedrooms, complete luxury, and a holiday with a difference.
